The
PanPacific Alliance Website. This is my #1 pick
for OGRE fan sites. It puts my site to shame so
much, I wonder why I even bothered...

Henry
Cobb is the selfless moderator of the OGRE Digest
mailing list. His site features a great
javascript calculator for figuring the cost of
armor units.

OGRE 1/5TH
|
Jonathan
Woodward's incredible work in progress. A true
robotic Ogre model using the LegoŽ Mindstorm
system
(http://www.io.com/~woodward/lego/) |

Mr.
Christopher Shields (Black Echo) has the #2 fan
website (IMHO). Yes, I designed most of my site
before I discovered his. No, really. I'm not
lying.

Winchell
Chung did the art for the first edition of OGRE.
His site has a seperate OGRE section which, among
other goodies, has a cool MK V record sheet. He's
also got new stuff in the new edition of
"The Ogre Book".

Francisco
Cestero's website is full of goodies like counter
sheets, backgrounds and TO&E on the warring
nations of the last war and a YAOPCA (Yet Another
Ogre Point Cost Algorithm).

V_MAP
is a neat "Drag and Drop" bitmap
program for playing OGRE Play By E-Mail (PBEM)
created by Todd Zircher. It's easy to figure out
how to use, only takes up a few MB on your HD and
is freeware. You should try this out if you got a
pal out of state (or in another country) who
loves OGRE and wants to play against you.

The
Maverick's
Classic Microgames
Museum
|
"The
Maverick" was kind enough to let me use some
images from his site for my "What's
This?" section. His website is a
visual treasure trove for all of us who remember
microgames...

The
largest game store of it's kind in the United
States (possibly the world). Over 1,000 sq. feet
are devoted to gaming tables alone. You can find
the complete line of SJ Games here as well as
opponents and demo games.
http://www.sci-fi-city.com/ |
 |
GEO-HEX
has fantastic modular board terrain for your OGRE
miniature games. Don't take my word for it, visit
their website and see for yourself.
http://www.geohex.com/ |
|
The
Animation Factory is a great site to get freebie
GIFs and animated GIFs. (Okay, it's not OGRE
related, but they're a great source for stuff to
help build your own website if you'd like to
try).
http://www.animfactory.com/ |

"White Rat" (John, no last
name given) has a great OGRE site with a lot of
effort devoted to terraining/modeling lessons and
pics. In addition, he has a start up gallery and
a number of interesting sub-pages, including his
own homebrewed regiment complete with history.
This is the sort of stuff I want to do someday.
But for now, head on over to his site.

Gaming
With Miniatures
|
Jeff
Bolton has some intersting home-grown rules for
converting BattleMechs to OGRE. Check 'em out.
http://www.homestead.com-gamewithminiatures |
|
Robert
A. Knop Jr. has a JAVA program that does
(roughly) the same job that Todd Zircher's V_map
progam does (see above) except that it will run
on just about any platform, not just a Windows
based PC. Give it a try.

Matt
Goldman does things in a big way. So it's no
surprise that he wanted to "Blow Up
Duluth". Check out this site for a cool
home-made map and scenario complete with
"How To Do It" notes.

Build an Ogre NOW
|
There's
lots of Ogre construction formulas out there, but
I'm partial to this one because its clean and
yields pretty close results when testing it on
standard Ogres.

Many of the above sites have even more links
to different sites. I've only tried to highlight some of
the best (IMHO) sites. But there are many more good ones
on the web. It's amazing to see the amount of fan
devotion out there for just one game system (that's dang
near 25 years old!) OGRE/G.E.V. is already a legend in
gaming history, but many people feel that it's
"golden age" is yet to come rather than already
behind us. Not many games can claim that
distinction.
I hope to expand the above link
list. If you have (or know of) a great OGRE website or
webpage, please let me know so that I can add it to this
list.
